Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 가볍게 흔들면 리필 셰리가 남긴 옅은 호박빛이 천천히 잔 벽을 타고 내려온다. 문 닫은 록사이드답게 코를 가져가면 잘 익은 자두와 보리, 가벼운 가죽 향이 차례로 올라온다. 한 모금 머금으면 1981년 증류된 원액의 부드러운 몰트 위로 셰리의 단맛이 흐르고, 46도의 온화한 기운이 입을 감싼다. 삼키면 건포도와 묵은 오크의 끝맛이 깊게 머물러 사라진 하이랜드 증류소의 자취를 남긴다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
quite a lot of oak in this one at first nosing, but Lochside’s distinctive tangerines and grapefruits are well there, lurking in the background. Pencil shavings and tangerines, a funny combination that does work quite well. The good news is that as often, the oakiness diminishes (or our olfactory bulb starts to filter it out), and in this case it leaves room for more citrusy notes and jasmine. Maybe also touches of curry, allspices…
restaurant Palate
big fruits, oranges, grapefruits, tangerines, lemons (right, I won’t quote all citrus fruit) as well as the sweets and marmalades made thereof, plus touches of ginger and white pepper. Yet, it’s no real fruit bomb. I’d say almost. Probably not hugely complex but the profile is perfect
timer Finish
medium long, more on lemon zests and just a tiny salty touch. Ginger. Strange return on vanilla in the aftertaste
